Verderamo Pips Castro to the Rail
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mariano Castro jammed for 74,000 from under the gun and Nicholas Verderamo looked him up from the small blind.
Mariano Castro: K♠10♣
Nicholas Verderamo: K♥Q♥
Castro was pipped by Verderamo but the 8♠7♦7♣ flop offered some chop outs. However, the K♣ turn heavily reduced those chances, and the 2♥ river could not save Castro as he was eliminated by Verderamo, whose queen kicker played.
